Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: M Meade

7/2

25/1, tenth of 14 in novice at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 26 days ago, met some trouble. May do better but Ashtanga has to be considered the stable first string.

Keep Me Stable⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

50/1

Modest form in 2 outings over 7f and will need to improve for the step up to 1m to play a prominent role.

Form: 59

13/2, fourth of 6 in novice at Beverley (8.4f, good, 13/2) on debut 22 days ago. Should progress.

Forecasts

Ashtanga (2/1), Shazam (3/1), Ciara Storm (7/2), Dubai Crystal (4/1), Khinjani (9/2), Hill Filly (22/1), Dance Time (25/1), Atwater Nine (25/1), Blaker (40/1), Keep Me Stable (50/1), Weigh Anchor (50/1), Cherryhawk (125/1)

ASHTANGA should have more to offer on the back of an encouraging opening run at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago and looks the one to beat. Karl Burke's Newcastle runner-up Dubai Crystal looks the obvious threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Ralph Beckett debutante Shazam.
